Koro Ramen & Sushi

We’ve tried this place three times and were disappointed every time. We’re honestly confused by the positive ratings. The sushi misses the mark across the board. The spicy tuna seriously lacked flavor and was just tuna with a side of spicy mayo and oversized cucumber, and the rice was oddly sweet. Overall, it almost tasted like what you’d expect sushi to taste like if you tried to make it at home. The shrimp tempura had similar issues. The house ramen also wasn’t good. The noodles were rubbery even after following the heating instructions, and the meat was strangely seasoned. Nothing tasted terrible, but everything tasted off. Overall, this is a 1–2 out of 10 for sushi and ramen. If you seriously like sushi or ramen, this is not your spot. It’s unfortunate because it’s close by, but there are much better options elsewhere.

The most plain and boring Tuna Poke bowl I’ve ever had. No ginger included as pictured. Two tiny soy sauce packets included in my takeout order. I love poke but $23.50 for a tiny bowl of completely unseasoned ingredients. No sauce, no sesame seeds, no furikake. Boooooring.

We both made our own bowls and both were AMAZING. Hot, fresh, filling. The vibe was cool inside, and the service was good. The sushi was not great, but we got over it.

As a sushi lover I was so excited to hear that this restaurant was opening in Eastie. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the expectation. The chicken karaage was good but the sushi was disappointing. I had the golden sunset and philly rolls. The fish did not taste very fresh, rice was not seasoned well, the mango was unripe, thin and leathery, and the roll quality was poor (see photos: not filled and pieces cut unevenly). Their specialty roll was so small, the same size as a basic maki despite being double in price. I do hope things improve so we can have some good Japanese food in East Boston.

Visiting New Hamshire from Florida. Stopped for a quick back on my way to Boston airport. OMG. Delicious. You will not be disappointed. I had the Short Rib Ramen Bowl; the broth was so flavorful, and the short rib was so tender and juicy.

I’ve been waiting for koro to open definitely a great addition to east Boston! I had the koro roll, wings, B.L.T roll, miso ramen and the shrimp tempura, they were all delicious I highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu

We had a wonderful time at Koro Ramen & Sushi. It's exciting to have a Japanese food option in East Boston. The food was delicious, fresh, and very flavorful. We tried the veggie and shrimp sushi, and we will definitely be coming back!

This is a great new food option in Eastie. Very clean inside and we were able to get seats right away around 6pm on a Thursday. I had the shrimp tempura roll and a build-your-own ramen. I thought the sushi was very good and a good size for the price. I love the option to pick all your own ramen components. The tonkotsu broth was delicious and the pork belly was super tender. I would highly recommend and I will definitely be back!

Delicious ramen bowls that are perfect to take out for those cold days. I am in love with the build your own ramen bowls. My go to is the tonkatsu with pork belly. Staff is always friendly. I've never dined in but the vibe is great with lively music and a relaxed atmosphere.

I really wanted to like this place. The broth is the only thing I enjoyed here. I created my own ramen but was sad that they are so stingy with add ons. I ordered the short rib but only ended up with 2 pieces of meat. And short rib was an option you paid extra for. Bok choy only 2 pieces as well. Not 2 bulbs of bok choy just 2 leaves. For the egg , only half an egg and I paid extra for the egg only to get half. Which made me write this review. I spent a total 59 dollars for 2 ramens and an app. Which I wouldn't have minded but it wasn't worth it at all. The app I ended up getting was the wings which comes with a sauce on but got them on the side. I love chicken wings but these fried wings didn't even have any flavor no salt or pepper, garnished with scallions.The sauce that I got was good but still tasted like a bland wing.

Koro is a great spot for a quick and casual meal in Eastie. Their sushi, gyoza, and ramen are all so delicious! Building your own ramen with the fried chicken is 10/10. The interior is cute as well and staff have always been very friendly and welcoming.
